Eclipse, PHP, mySQL and WAMP Server [message #1707219]

Hi all.

I'm brand new to Eclipse. I was using Zend Server + Studio + mySQL in a learning mode. But I'm trying to use Eclipse now my Zend trial period has elapsed.

I'm confused: how do I link Eclipse to WAMP Server and mySQL so that I can run PHP scripts? Is there something which explains how these components are brought together?

Thanks.

In WAMP, you have your apache root folder (something like c:\wamp\www). I just make my eclipse workspace a folder under that (like c:\wamp\www\myworkspace). If you have an index.php file in a project called myproject (c:\wamp\www\myworkspace\myproject\index.php), your URL is localhost/myworkspace/myproject/index.php. Navigating to that URL will invoke that PHP file. How you connect to your MySQL db is just standard PHP at point. Hope that helps a bit. Good luck.
